Bononia

There’s nothing like a refreshingly cold gelato on a warm Summer day. While walking down Melbourne Street and in need for some relief from the heat, I came across Bononia, a small gelato store. As their name suggests, gelato is their specialty and there are a fair few flavours to choose from. They also have…

Nic & Rocco – Rundle Mall

These Nic & Rocco dessert bars seems to be popping up everywhere with another one just opening up in Rundle Mall. Like their Norwood store, this place is just as small, with seating capacity for a dozen people. The offerings are pretty much the same, however, I do see them regularly introduce new product lines….

Steven Ter Horst Chocolatier – Rundle St

From humble beginnings at their Unley Road store, Steven Ter Horst has finally expanded and moved to a more central location. Now located on Rundle Street, the place is more stylish and sophisticated. The polished concrete flooring, the wall mounted shelving and the ceiling flushed lighting make this store very minimalist. The dark colour tones…

By Blackbird

By Blackbird is a small little cafe and patisserie located in the popular King William Road cafe precinct. Coffee and pastries seem to be their specialty, but they also do all day breakfasts in the form of croissants with a variety of fillings. The place is warm and cosy with a dash of character about…

Nano

If you’re going to rate this place based on the number of people that come here, it gets 5 stars without much thought. I’ve walked past this place so many times, at different hours of the day, and it’s always busy. This place does a roaring trade and they’re certainly doing something right. Having already…

With it’s original sister store located on Glen Osmond Road, not only is this place a specialty coffee supplier, but they also sell a range of artisan teas and are a go-to destination for brunch. This place is…

From Scratch Patisserie

Every Friday morning from about 7am, the pop up patisserie From Scratch sets up their stall next to the super trendy Coffee Branch on Leigh Street. There’s no signage indicating who they are, but I’m pretty sure I was at the right place. Yummy pastries and hot coffee are a winning combination, particularly on a…

Astonish Patisserie

Astonish Patisserie is so close to home for me. It’s my one stop shop for late night sugar fixes. This little dessert place reminds me of someones home library, although the coffee table made out of old books needs a bit more thought. The atmosphere here was relaxing and the service was OK. For what appeared…

Aroma Cafe – North Tce

When I catch up with friends during the week, they have coffee and I have dessert. I’ve been to Aroma a fair few times and on this particular occasion, I went for the Chocolate Muffin. The muffin was huge and freshly baked. The choc chips in the chocolate muffin only made the experience more tantalizing….

Milano Cucina

Milano Cucina is located down at the quieter end of Hutt Street inside the Channel 10 building. The décor is contemporary with your standard commercial fittings. The menu is inspired by the northern Italian region however there is an Australian influence within. Tonight, we ordered the Margherita Pizza. The dish was ready 15 minutes after…
